Reseña del libro "Life Was Here Somewhere (en Inglés)"
'He is just a boy, frightened, wounded and bleeding, in need of food andshelter. It would be inhuman to hand him over to the cops, ' thinks the narratorin the story 'Dead-end'. Unless...could he be the terrorist who killed herbrother Kewal? And if so, does he not deserve the same end?'The opening story in this collection by a doyenne of Punjabi literature jolts thereader into facing uncomfortable questions-and each story that follows holds usin a similar grip. In 'Walking a Tightrope', the narrator is shocked to find she has asecond maternal uncle. Why had his existence been kept hidden for so long-andwho was more to blame-the uncle, or his tyrannical father, Bhaiyaji?After the abuse she suffered as a child at the hands of her uncle, Mansukhaniin 'Unsought Passion' forever thinks of men as 'devils and pigs'-but does herchildhood trauma give her the right to force her attentions on Raaj? And inthe eponymous 'Life Was Here Somewhere', the narrator finds many lessonsabout life and human nature in a pile of garbage in front of her home.In these fourteen short stories, which blur the lines between fiction andmemoir, Ajeet Cour paints rich vignettes of life in Delhi, Chandigarh and thevillages of Punjab. Effortlessly translated from the original Punjabi by the author, these are unforgettable stories-searing, moving and always deeply human.
